Always find it hard to understand how it can be a spoiler when the only way I find out about anyone's success is via this forum but if someone has recorded it is going to watch it later then it's a fair point I guess. But (which basically eliminates everything I said before) if I didn't want to know a football result I would stay away from all football media. Just saying.......

Bit of common sense, generic world cup title for thread with spoiler in title. Ratboy is an amazing rider but I can't help cringe when I see him drinking cider and waving his arse at a house or whatever shenanigans he gets up to. Bring back sensible riders like Warner...

I went for a mince around Hopton, my phone rang with Ratboys rendition of God save the Queen (unknown number so ignored it) told my mate that's to say Bryceland's done it!
As soon as I got back I bought beer and studiously ignored STW and Pinkbike going straight to red bull tv for the replay.

What a great round really chuffed for Simmonds and Hill but Manon and Ratboy really topped off a great day and a brilliant season! Can't wait for worlds and I have to go to BPW for the last BDS round.
I kinda like British downhills' underground status at the moment as it's really letting the best riders shine without the officious blithering and politics which can blight British sport.

I'm glad he's got his act together. I was concerned he was going down the 'Fairclough' route to mediocrity. Occasionally showcasing his amazing ability on 'rad' videos, flashing his metaphorical tits for the camera whenever he needs a bit of cash.

The ease that ratboy exudes on the bike just reeks of talent, he's absolutely pinning it, but it never seems frenetic. Sure he comes across as a bit of a pillock, but he's sure as hell putting the hours in and now it is paying dividends. If he wants to have a skinful and moon someone then I doubt it's the worst thing in the world.

Well done young man, a British world champ and seemingly a nice lad to boot.

Will you "spoiler!" lot just F off?! I had the sense to only watch the RedBull feed before going anywhere that may have blown the surprise, as I couldn't watch it live. What's your excuse?

MTB news on MTB forum shocker. Swear word.

Ona positive note - totally made up for the lad! Couldn't have happened to a nicer kid and just shows what a bit of confidence can do.

Also amazing to note that on one of the hardest tracks of the year that 8 out of the top 16 were UK riders - just goes to show what a depth of talent we have in this country and what an influence Peaty has been.

Oh and was thoroughly chuffed for Manon too, she's had an amazing season and I'm not sure she can believe it's all happening,I just hope Jason got out there to see it.
